Bass Playing Frontmen

Billy Sheehan, he sings sometimes, like on the G3 tour with Vai and Satriani.

and uhh...Troy Sanders, Mastodon. (if you call those vocals)  :laughing7:
i can't think of too many, you guys called out most of them already.
 
That Thin Lizzy gig in Sydney is astounding. Has it ever been released officially?

On the first DLR tour, I watched Billy Sheehan hit all of his boss's high notes for him. When I saw Mr. Big in Singapore, they played Smoke on the Water, with everyone shifting instruments. Eric and Billy Did it twice:

The bassist for Mastodon started out as the frontman, but I think the two guitarists have more or less supplanted him in that role.

Funny you mention The Cars. I was just about to add them to the "Post what you're listening to" thread.

You're right. I went and looked at the production credits, and Troy does a lot more singing on "The Hunter" than I thought he did. Don't know where I got that idea from. My bad.
